A Convertible For Adults

Steve

written on 06-03-2006

If top-down driving inspires you but safety, build quality and seating for 4 motivate you, then this is your convertible. A head-turner with the top up or down, the converting process is guaranteed to stop traffic. Actual adults can fit in the rear seat, and if you drive like an adult (i.e. - don't need to prove your manhood by speeding, snaking through traffic or excessive horsepower) the C70 will keep you smiling for years to come.

The summer days in Northern California are perfect for top-down driving in the mornings and evenings. The coupe incarnation of the C70 is quiet and comfortable and you do forget that the car is also a convertible. This car is indeed roomy enough for four adults and by packing light we were able to accommodate overnight luggage for four in the reduced trunk space of the convertable mode. The three-piece retractable roof is definitely an eye- popping piece of engineering. The C70 is fun to drive and fun for passengers. Two favorite moments were driving top-down over the Golden Gate Bridge with friends, and taking a quiet evening drive along the Silverado Trail of the Napa Valley.

Love the C70-design,ride comfort, power. Agree that displays could be better. Mine however seems to be a noisy car. Maybe because I have not had a convertible in a long time. Heavy sounding rattles have been hard to isolate. Dealer replaced bearings on the struts. Recently seems to be noisy at the roof connections. Would not give it up but am a little disappointed at the noise.

We love the C70 but it has been in the shop a number of times due to the top's sensor going off while driving in the rain and when someone is walking behind the car as I back out of a parking space. Basically I have to reset the top by opening and closing it. Not a fun experience in the rain. Another ongoing issue is both right rims seemed to have gone oval for no reason. One rim was even cracked on the interior. The dealership and Volvo USA say they are not responsible. The top rattles, water gets in at the car wash. The battery died which unlocks the car and rolls down the windows. It's a safety feature.

Escondido Volvo C70 Pricing Analysis

Active Listings

Edmunds determines Great, Good and Fair deals based on our analysis of thousands of recent auto listings.

What is it?

The Edmunds Pricing Analysis gives users a snapshot of available used cars for sale in their area and a means of determining the competitiveness of each price. By visually comparing used cars, trucks, and SUVs based on price and mileage, users can quickly determine whether particular listing is a good deal.

How does it work?

Local car prices are displayed vertically, with higher-priced cars and trucks for sale on top and lower-priced cars and trucks for sale on the bottom. The mileage of local cars and trucks for sale is depicted horizontally, with lower-mileage cars and trucks on the left side and higher-mileage cars and trucks on the right side.

Shoppers can use this graph to quickly identify the best used car values in their area. Generally speaking, the best deals are the lower-priced and lower-mileage vehicles that fall into the lower left-hand quadrant of the graph. However, higher-priced cars may be worth considering if they have more options than lower-priced cars.

Conveniently, the Edmunds Pricing Analysis labels each local car or truck for sale as a Great Deal, Good Deal or Fair Deal based on local market pricing. 15% of the used inventory currently listed on Edmunds is a Great Deal. We've analyzed thousands of similar transactions and listings to find these deals.

Shoppers should weigh this data carefully when selecting a vehicle, as it is merely a guide. There are other factors that can significantly affect a car's value, including condition and vehicle history.
